Jess Writes A Rom-Com

Episode Four - 'Do You Love Me?' with Marcel Blanch-de Wilt

On this episode, Marcel brings us a rom-com classic (it's black and white!) The Apartment (1960). We talk about Films (with a capital F), ruining movies for ourselves, and we ask the important question ... do you love me?
